They say she can’t win. She knows she can’t lose.

An expansive, inspiring feminist novel about one woman’s rise as a racing driver in mid-century Britain.

It’s 1945 and Winifred ‘Freddy’ Vaux fears she’s the only person who isn’t thrilled the war is over.

All she wants is to drive. Ambulances, recovery vehicles, anything. While she’s still allowed behind the wheel, it won’t be her occupation and certainly not fast.

But she makes a resolution in a Victory night race: she must pursue race car driving. No matter the cost.

From the country lanes of her youth to Europe’s most exhilarating tracks, Freddy’s thunderous ambition takes her where no woman has gone before. However, travelling at such speeds, friends and lovers can be lost in an instant.

Freddy has a lot to learn. Driving was the easy part.
